-# Cost-effective serverless computing +# Containers as a service on AWS -Cortex is a highly-scalable serverless computing platform that is up to 90% less expensive than AWS Lambda. It is designed for scaling compute-intensive realtime, async, and batch workloads on your AWS account. Organizations worldwide use Cortex to scale microservices, data processing, machine learning, and other applications in production. +Deploy, manage, and scale containers without worrying about Kubernetes.
-## Maximize compute utilization +## Serverless workloads -**Workload autoscaling** - set autoscaling policies per workload based on its traffic. +**Realtime** - respond to requests in real-time and autoscale based on in-flight request volumes. -**Resource requests** - configure CPU, GPU, and memory requests per workload, without limits. +**Async** - process requests asynchronously and autoscale based on request queue length. -**Container deployments** - customize the runtime and request concurrency for each container. +**Batch** - run distributed and fault-tolerant batch processing jobs on-demand.
-## Minimize compute costs +## Automated cluster management -**Cluster autoscaling** - elastically scale your cluster to meet demand. +**Autoscaling** - elastically scale clusters with CPU and GPU instances. -**Spot instances** - run workloads on spot instances without sacrificing reliability. +**Spot instances** - run workloads on spot instances with automated on-demand backups. -**Multi-instance** - use multiple instance types to optimize price-performance ratio per workload. +**Environments** - create multiple clusters with different configurations.
-## Visualize and control spend +## CI/CD and observability integrations -**Metrics dashboard** - monitor latency and resource utilization with pre-built dashboards. +**Provisioning** - provision clusters with declarative configuration or a Terraform provider. -**Spend visibility** - visualize your spend using the latest AWS pricing information. +**Metrics** - send metrics to any monitoring tool or use pre-built Grafana dashboards. -**Resource limits** - set limits on resource consumption globally and per workload. +**Logs** - stream logs to any log management tool or use the pre-built CloudWatch integration. + +
+ +## Built for AWS + +**EKS** - Cortex runs on top of EKS to scale workloads reliably and cost-effectively. + +**VPC** - deploy clusters into a VPC on your AWS account to keep your data private. + +**IAM** - integrate with IAM for authentication and authorization workflows.
